This paper presents a rule-based reordering approach for English-Hindi machine translation. We have used the concept of pada, from Pān. inian Grammar to frame the reordering rules. A pada is a word form which is ready to participate in a sentence. The rules are generic enough to apply on any English-Indian language pair. We tested the rules on English-Hindi language pair and obtained better comprehensibility score as compared to Google Translate on the same test set. In assessing the effectiveness of the rules on padas which are analogous to minimal phrases in English, we achieved upto 93% accuracy on the test data.
